    I'm no finger's in the ears or eye's but I'm seriously no getting the stick he's receiving tonight?

    Slated him Saturday for their first but he's blameless for the 3 tonight..

    Exactly..

    Aye he's had a couple of moment's and lacking confidence (as is most of the team) but it just feels like open season on everyone because of it..

    I do get it to an extent but people are focusing in the wrong direction..

    Folk looking for a fall guy, they should be looking at the big guy in front of him if that’s the case.

    The jury is still out but there’s no mileage in just making things up about the guy, still needs a lot more games. Ideally behind a settled defence.

    He's done nothing to justify his price tag, at least.

    I don't think he's been massively to blame for any of the goals we've conceded but at the same time I've not seen much to suggest he is going to anything out of the ordinary and keep us in a game. I'm struggling to fault or praise him! Early days and as others have said working with Woods and hopefully getting a settled defence will do him the world of good

    I think he has let in quite a few dubious goals and tonight he didn’t even bother to extend his hand to try and save the first. Similarities to the first goal on Saturday.

    However, that’s neither here nor there in the context that he has hardly made a save yet for us. He must surely have one of the worst save*shots on target percentages of any of our keepers ever (thus far). I’m sure there will be a stats guy out there keeping record of these things.

    Dunno what point your trying to make :54:

    Bain isn’t at a high enough level to be our number 1 long term but I guarantee you he might make a save every now and again lol...

    Bain certainly will have a better save percentage than Barkas.

    Don't know what point I'm trying to make..

    Aye pal, you're no in this thread practically every game calling for Bain to be reinstated..

    Blameless for the first and third.

    Positioning was pretty bad for the second, far too close to his near post and left so much space for the Milan boy to aim at.

    Our defence should be blocking the shot however..

    Aye pal. Probably cause I like me keepers to make an effort and save shots like they are meant to do :50:

    If your £5m striker or midfielder had been as passive as he has then he wouldn’t be starting every game without question in your eyes..

    The fact he probably couldn't see the shot early enough, for their second, was due to McGregor and Duffy getting in one another's way. He's blameless tonight.

    Was low. Struck through a couple bodies across goal..

    Harsh for me..

    Let's get Bain back in. A keeper who couldn't out jump centre halves at corners and was flapping at everything before Forster came in last year..

    Lol..
